An insane man stopped at the house of W. N. Bowman, in Monroe Township, on Monday evening last, who presented a sorry spectacle. He said he had lain outdoors all winter, and his feet were badly frozen. He seemed to be in a terrible fright, imagining that a mob was after him. He gave his name as Dunn and said he had been falsely accused of murdering his wife and children near Sioux City. From Mr. Bowman's, he went west. The authorities should look after him.
